Carro 500

In 1951 the workshops of the STCP built a prototype for the new generation of tramcars. This unidirectional car had a modern and far better outward than the Pipis constructed in the same period. It was the first with seating for driver and conducter and the doors were handled pneumatical.

The 500 was withdrawn around 1974 and was one of the first cars chosen to be kept for the museum.
